Abstract: Theoretical and experimental investigations were made of frequency sweeping in a system formed by a highly stable cw master oscillator and a multipass pulsed slab amplifier. It is shown that in a four-pass small-signal amplification system the chirp of the amplified radiation does not exceed 7.7 kHz when the energy of the pump pulses is 36 J and the duration of these pulses is 300 μs.
